This is the second book in the Harry Potter series. I am rereading this book as part of a Harry Potter read a long hosted by my good friend
I like this book much better than the first. I love love love the character of Lockheart. He makes me giggle with his arrogance and incompetence. I love that he magics all the bones out of Harry's arm during a quidditch match.
The characters of Harry, Hermione, and Ron are better developed in this book. We get a good look at the dynamic in Ron's family. I really love how real his family is, from the grumpiness to the obvious love from all of them. It reminds me of my own family.
I will say that I don't dig the giant snake and the spider bits in this book. I tend not to enjoy icky icky eeewwww things like snakes and spiders. I do laugh a bit at Ron being terrified at spiders. I like that JK Rowling make the boys in this story a little less obnoxious.
I recommend this book to children and those who don't mind children literature.
Not gonna lie, I had to shut my eyes on that arm part on the movie, it made me queasy. I don't mind the snake so much, but I totally fast forwarded through the spiders too lol.
